About Urborg

This card would benefit a mono-black control deck looking to fix its mana base and provide additional utility. While Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth is a solid choice for such a deck, there are potentially better options like Cabal Coffers for ramp or Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx for mana generation in mono-black decks. Whether Urborg should see play depends on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck, but its ability to provide consistent black mana and minor utility makes it a viable inclusion in certain builds.
